What is Scaffolding Prop？
Scaffolding props are adjustable with closed heights and open heights under formwork. It carries loads in concrete slabs, beams, columns, and walls. The scaffolding props are composites of inner tubes, outer tubes, top and bottom plates, props sleeves with treads, robust prop nuts, lock pins, etc.
Scaffolding prop is also called adjustable steel props，telescopic prop，adjustable prop，acrow props，prop jacks, steel props, shoring props, formwork props, construction props, shuttering props, building props, steel support, post shore, etc. All scaffolding props are adjustable with closed heights and open heights.
Scaffolding props are manufactured by steel scaffold tubes or aluminum tubular profiles. Thus there are steel scaffolding props and aluminum scaffold props.
Steel scaffolding props can take more weight from the concrete than aluminum props. While the cost is much cheaper too. In order to make the steel scaffolding props more durable with longer life, you can ask for hot-dip galvanizing finished scaffold props. HDG steel scaffolding props can be repeated using at least 10 years with rusty.
What are the scaffolding prop components?
Scaffolding prop components mainly include the following types
1. Base Jack
2. Adjustable scaffolding prop
3. Scaffolding pillar head
4. Light Scaffolding prop
5. Heavy-duty scaffolding prop
How to choose scaffolding prop?
1. What is the height required for scaffolding prop?
The maximum height of the concrete can help you choose the desired size scaffolding supports. The sizes we can provide: 1065mm-1792mm, 1774mm-3148mm, 2462mm-3964mm, 2992mm-4966mm.
2. What is the load-bearing capacity that scaffolding prop need to meet?
Based on the slab thickness, volume and concrete density, you can calculate how much weight the scaffolding posts need to take from the concrete, and then decide which scaffolding posts to choose: light or heavy?
